Quiet baffles today
Should show up UPS today. Once I get them installed, I will try and get some audio posted. I know alot of people have questioned what they sound like compared to stock. I have heard that they are not quieter, just a deeper rumble. I guess we'll see tonight when I get home.

RE: Quiet baffles today
I got them last year and I like them. Sure takes the tinny sound out. I am not internet savy so I do not know how to post sound. You will like them. However, they are much much easier to put in than to ever take out. Dont ask. I followed some others recommendations and taped them tighter with clear packing tape and lubed them with some pam. Slid right in.

I got them installed, and am not too impressed with the sound yet. They quieted down quite a bit. I do like the deeper note, but I can barely hear them. Of course, I could be going deaf from the other baffles. I know they'll mature with age and sound a little better once I put some miles on them.

RE: Quiet baffles today
If I were to install those (I bought some a year ago for my V&H BSS and haven't touched them since), what are the odds it could adversely affect my Dyno tune? I find myself disliking, more and more, that tinny sound of the stock baffles, such as they are (shovelhead bob calls them cheese graters).
As far as I got on the installation was to tape down the glass. Which reminds me: I have also read on this forum that, at some point, that glass would/should/could need to be replaced. Anybody had to do that?
Thanks for the PAM tip...

RE: Quiet baffles today
I got them last summer for my shot shots. made them to quiet. I took them back out.
I've been thinking about putting them back in without the packing, That or getting some thunder baffles.
